To all whom it may camera;

Be it known that I, ALBERT KAsAN WAr'rs, a citizen of the United States, residing at 79 and 80 High Holborn, London,

W. 0., England, merchant, have invented,

new and useful Improvements in Pocket- Cli s for Fountain-Pens and Pencils, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists of the herein deran e of iameters than at present.

g y. invention is illustrated by the accompai iying drawings on which re 1 is a front elevation of a pocket clip or fountain pens and'pencils with the barrel part of the clip constructed in accord- ,ance with this invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation'of the same; Fig. 3 is a back elevation o'f the same; Fig. .4 is a lan of the same; Fig. 5 is a back elevation of t esame showing the'barre'l part expanded by the clip fitting than is indicated in Figs. 1,2 and 3; Fi 6 shows the sheet steel or other suitable s eet metal blank from which the barrel part of the clip is formed.

. v Thesame reference letters andnumerals indicate the'sam'e or corresponding'parts in all the figures.

A is the barrel part of the cli and Bis t e lever grip part 0 which are pierced and raised out of, the barrel I part Aare marked respectively 1 and 2 and i the lateral projections or fulcrum formed on 'thefsides o upper arm 6 of the lever B and presses the same outwardly therebycorrespondingly upper edge of a waistcoatv a much wider the same. he two eats causin the other end 7 of the lever B to be presse towards the barrel part A so as to-ito grip the fountain pen or pencil C against the l 7 pocket in which the fountain pen or encil is carried.

In carrying out t 's invention, I make v .1 each of the two sides of thebarrel part A of 5H the clip with one or more projecting tongues the free ends of which extend past each other side byv side thfereby enablin the barrel part when, expanded to be pe ectly secure on 4 fountain pens and pencils of much larger 80. diameter than the normal. ,In the arm 'ement shown on my drawings each of the si es of the barrel part of the clip has one of these, projecting tongues and these are marked re spectively 8, 9 the tongue 8 bei formed with one side of the barrel part o' the clip and the other tongue 9 being ormed with the other side thereof and it will be seen that when the barrel part A of the clip is expanded by fitting on a fountain pen or pencil of larger diameter, as shown for instance in; Fig. 5, the barrel part, owing to-its being provided with the tongues 8, 9 will pro erly embrace and have a firm and secure; hofd onthe fountain pen or pencil; Each of the "5 tongues 8, 9 is bypreference made with a slot 10 along it so as to cause'itto bend more easily when the barrel part of the clip is being forced'on to a fountain .pen or pent-11.,

What I claim-as m llrvention a'nd'idesire, to secure by Letters atent' ins A, pocket 'clipfor pen's and the like com-a prising a divided circular sprin barrel part" made from one sheet metal lfiankrha tongues extending past and out.of linewit one another in opposite dilGGtiOIlS, said barrel part havin two side'ears anda spring lever gri pivote to said'ears,"substantially as descri ed.

In testimony whereof I have signed'my name to this specification in the'presence of two subscribin witnesses. i A ABERT KASAN WATTS. Witnesses:
